This is Transgender Awareness Week. But people who have gone through gender transformation are bringing a different type of awareness than what the woke media want to see. They bring a message of warning.
Puberty blockers are being used on minors to transition to different genders. The American Academy of Pediatrics supports the use of gender blockers in minors, though there has never been a study done on the long-term consequences. Long term consequences of using puberty blockers can lead to osteoarthritis, hysterectomy’s, mastectomies and infertility, to name a few. Minors are not emotionally or intellectually equipped to transition to a different gender and the long-term consequences can be harmful to their lives. There has been an increase in victims of transgender transitions speaking out over the past couple of months. They share their heartbreaking story as a warning to parents and minors.
A woman who detransitioned is speaking out against puberty blockers, sharing her story in hopes of shedding light on the risks associated with the medications used by minors seeking gender-affirming care.
Cat Cattinson, who is also a molecular biologist, joined “The Ingraham Angle” to discuss the dangers of children using puberty blockers, and the potentially irreversible side effects.
“I identified as trans starting at age 13, but thankfully I did not transition until I was an adult because I was not affirmed by them, by my pediatrician. I was not affirmed by my parents, but if I had been, then the side effects after detransitioning probably would have been a lot worse,” Cattinson told host Laura Ingraham.
“I could be infertile, I could have had a hysterectomy, mastectomy, so I’m grateful I was not affirmed because it ended up in me preserving my health and fertility.”
“Concerns are growing among some medical professionals about the consequences of the drugs,” the Times piece stated.
Cattinson said there is a lack of clinical research into the long-term side effects of using the medications, specifically with minors turning to them as a result of gender dysphoria.
Cattinson said Planned Parenthood provided her with gender-affirming care and does not require an in-person visit or a mental health professional to be involved before giving minors treatment.
Last month, The United Kingdom’s National Health Service said that most children claiming to be transgender may be going through a “transient phase” and began restricting gender-affirming treatment of minors.
Will the United States wake up and follow suit?
